Explorative solid‐state chemistry led to the discovery of the two new compounds Ga 5 B 12 O 25 (OH) and In 5 B 12 O 25 (OH). Extreme synthetic conditions within the range of 12 GPa and a temperature of 1450 °C realized in a Walker‐type multianvil apparatus resulted in the formation of an unprecedented tetragonal structure with the exclusive presence of condensed BO 4 tetrahedra, forming cuboctahedral cavities. Doping of these cavities with Eu 3+ in In 5 B 12 O 25 (OH) yielded in an orange–red luminescence. Photocatalytic tests of In 5 B 12 O 25 (OH) revealed a hydrogen production rate comparable to TiO 2 but completely co‐catalyst free.
